Today in football, offense are getting faster, more complex, and giving defenses more misdirection and window-dressing every week.
As a result, defenses need to be able to recognize alignments, communicate and get lined up quicker. If you can't get lined up correctly, you'll be giving up a lot of big plays, no matter how talented you are.
It's simple: You don't need a more complex playbook, you need a more efficient language.
Anderson University Defensive Coordinator Brett Hickman has coached at both the FBS level, as well as the small high school level, and he developed the Blackout Defense System after seeing the kinds of challenges defense face at all levels of football.
It all comes down to how players read, recognize, and react, and how good you as a coach are at putting them in a position to be successful.
